Psychotherapy With Older Adults

Within the conceptual framework of the author′s maturity-specific model, this Second Edition of Knight′s bestselling book expands on important issues and offers an even more thorough account of psychotherapy with older adults than the original. New to this edition are a comprehensive discussion of assessment and options for intervention, and a concluding chapter on ethical questions.

The author considers the essentials of gerontology as well as the nature of therapy in great depth. He sensitively links both research and experience to provide a practical account of the knowledge, techniques and skills necessary to work therapeutically with older adults. Numerous case examples illustrate the dynamics of the therapeutic task.
